IronPort Email Bundle Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, Outbreak Filters, Encryption, Centralized Management and Platinum Support -

As threat writers use constantly evolving techniques to penetrate companies' existing defenses, email threats have expanded beyond simple nuisance spam. IronPort Anti-Spam combines best-of-breed conventional techniques with IronPort's breakthrough context-sensitive detection technology, to eliminate the broadest range of known and emerging email threats. IronPort Anti-Spam utilizes the industry's most innovative approach to threat detection. In addition to reviewing sender reputation, IronPort's unique Context Adaptive Scanning Engine (CASE) examines the complete context of a message. When combining the CASE score and sender reputation, the end result is more accurate than traditional spam filtering techniques.

IronPort addresses ever increasing virus threats by offering integrated signature-based virus filtering at the gateway through Sophos, along with IronPort's own unique non-signature based solution called Virus Outbreak Filters. Sophos is an industry leader in anti-virus filtering, offering consolidated protection against multiple malware threats such as viruses, worms and Trojans. With the highest performance virus scanning technology in the industry and unique denial of service prevention, Sophos anti-virus technology provides a fully integrated layer of virus protection on the IronPort C-Series email security appliances.

A proven preventive solution, IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters provide a critical first layer of defense against new outbreaks hours before signatures used by traditional anti-virus solutions are in place. Real world results show an average lead time over reactive anti-virus solutions of 14 hours, along with an extremely high catch rate and near zero misclassifications. Integrated into IronPort's C-Series email security appliances, IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters perform a threat assessment of inbound and outbound messages, and quarantines suspicious messages temporarily. Messages are automatically released once signatures from traditional anti-virus vendors are deployed.

Despite the rise in text messaging, instant messaging, social networking, and other forms of communication, email continues to be the predominant business collaboration tool. But the unsecure nature of email has resulted in the inadvertent and malicious exposure of sensitive information. Technologies to encrypt email, such as S/MIME and Open PGP, have been available for several years, but they have failed to achieve widespread adoption. The limited use of these technologies is primarily due to their deployment complexity and the burden they place on the sender and the recipient to open and manage encrypted messages. Cisco IronPort Email Encryption overcomes the problems of earlier encryption technologies by providing a solution that that meets compliance requirements for email encryption, while delivering powerful email control features - all in an easy-to-use, broad-reaching, and affordable offering.

IronPort Centralized Management makes it simple, safe, and secure to manage multi-box installations of IronPort Email Security Appliances. Midsize enterprises can ensure redundant systems have the same configuration. Large enterprises and service providers can manage machines in disparate data centers or across the globe. Centralized Management users have found that administration time can be cut in half when managing two systems and above 90% at larger installations.

The Platinum Support Program offers a comprehensive array of support services to assist customers with the administration and maintenance of their IronPort products. The Platinum Support Program includes 24 x 7 access to Customer Support Engineers and online Support Portal complete with its expansive knowledge base, the latest product documentation, release notes, tools, security alerts, and case management.
